You have to stack all chronoboosts determined for the same unit/upgrade before that unit/upgrade. Currently there is a small issue with CB that you can only stack as much CB as there are available if you boost nonstop from the beginning of that unit/upgrade. The Planner is smart enough to take additional generated energy during boosting into calculation but it is currently not possible to boost an unit/upgrade at certain times, like at the the end of warpgate-tech to synchronize it with your gateways.

Here is a template for 1 Gas 4 Gate with 20 Probes:

hey DeltaOne, i was wondering if you have a "key table" for all the characters used in the URL generation, if its ok with you i would like to give this info to CarbonTwelve (creater of SCBuildOrder).

related thread:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=168348&currentpage=54

and hopefully he will add support for an sc2planner url compatible output. also could you have the queens special abilities not interfere with the timings of anything else. hard to explain, for example if i have a bunch of injects already lined up, and i'm just adding drones, i have to be careful where i place my drones checking they dont push the injects further forward, when i see this happen i then have to place that next drone after the injection to stop this from occurring. if its possible could you have the injection timings work independently from drone production.

Would it be possible to unlock additional gases as soon as an additional CC/Hatch/Nexus is building, opposed to as soon as it finishes? (in order to synchronize their completion to get additional gas asap)

@ Stone: I'll add a key table to the website for import/export reasons when I get the time. I'm also in progress of writing a faq and news, as well as fix some bugs and implement some export functions. For your other question: I'll think about it, just like implementing constant scv and marine production etc, but I will add it only when I have a neat solution to it, and if people really wants it.

@ Xanatoss: I'll add gas before nexus next upload. Thanks for pointing it out.

Awesome work! A few bugs here and there that other users have mentioned, but wow, a lot of effort went into this and it even has the recent 1.4 patch timing for barracks, etc.

God I love it so much 8]

2 Questions:

Do workers use a fixed average coefficient for Minerals/Minute - Calculation or is the diminishing efficency dependend on how much workers I have? In addition, does the planner allocate workers automatically for optimal mineral-saturation (like 2x10 workers on 2 bases instead of 20 workers on one and 0 on other, for greater income), because it seems like this for gas (3 workers on 1 Gas net less income than 3 on 2 Gas).

2nd one is, do you think it is possible and useful to implement a "accumulated ressources gathered" Display? I need that for several considerations but have to calculate it on my own atm, which is a bit cumbersome (?).

Keep up the great work! :D

Yes it automatically allocate workers optimally with reduced efficiency after 2 workers per mineral/gas patch like you would expect. So in your example if you have two assimilators and three gas workers it will put 2 workers in one and the third worker in the other automatically, thus getting maximum income.

I'll add minerals per second, total minerals and similar stats in a future version for sure.

This is a very good tool.

I found some bug.
Reator barack don't give additionnal production.

I can confirm Gyro_SC2's bug, in my build (shall be some optimized 2 Rax exp w Reaper) a Reactor doesnt add additional production:

cant figure out how to add multiple chrono onto a forge upgrade (adding the chrono as the energy becomes available), tried stacking the chrono before starting the upgrade but it pushes the upgrade further down the timeline. will post pics if required.

Wow, awesome. Thanks for putting the effort into making this. I've been looking for something like this since beta, and all prior attempts have fallen short.

I really love your tool. If you solve the problem of chronoboosting at a specific time i will probably stop playing starcraft outside my browser at all.

Keep up the great work!

tdh.

This is a great tool! Thanks for making it.

A couple of ideas for improvements: I would be nice if things could be planned in parallel. For instance larva injects should generally be made as soon as possible, but when you are changing around in the build order, you have to rearrange larva injects afterwards. The same goes for buildings/upgrades where the timing is based on gas. You could add a symbol in the url to mean as soon as possible, this symbol could be added as standard to larva injects.

Another nice feature: It would be great to be able to plan two builds in parallel, where one build is shifted with a variable amount of time, corresponding to the time it takes to get to the enemy base. Then you could compare your build to a counter-build or the build you are trying to counter.

This has probably been brought up before, but would it be possible to stretch out the main window a little bit (or well, more than a little xD)? As it is you can only see like 2 minutes of a build without scrolling - if the window was a bit wider it would give users a much more convenient overview of things.

Anyways, awesome tool, I wanted something like this for a long long time as I'm often on a PC that can't even run SC2.

Love the tool. Great work.

One question: Has it been updated yet with 1.4 changes? Most notably the rax build time?

Edit: nm, checked liquipedia. Planner seems to be up to date.
